Kids, Let’s Make Whoopie Pie Recipe

I had to write that.. who remembers that phrase… Well this Whoopie Pies are Yummy. They are a crowd favorite a kids desire and can be made smaller for a special event. They are fairly easy to make and they even freeze nicely. I suggest making them a day ahead.

For the cakes

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 teaspoon salt

1 cup well-shaken buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 large egg yolk

For the yummy filling you will need

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar

1 cup marshmallow cream such as Marshmallow Fluff

1 teaspoon vanilla

Whoopie Pie filling:

You will need to blend together butter, confectioners sugar, marshmallow, and vanilla in a bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.

For another non traditional peanut butter filling or just use any flavor of ice cream

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar

1 cup peanut butter

Cooking part:

Turn on the oven to 350ºF.

Then blend together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until combined. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl.

Use a high speed mixer and place the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. This should take about 3 minutes in a standing mixer or 5 minutes with a handheld, then add egg, beating well. Reduce speed to low and alternately mix in flour mixture and buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with flour.

Spoon 1/4-cup mounds of batter about 2 inches apart onto 2 buttered large baking sheets or stoneware. I move them from the top rack tot he bottom rack at about 5 1/2 minutes in. They should cook for 11-13 minutes total.

Then you simply combine the cake once it has cooled down with the cake and enjoy!
